Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women. It is characterized by a high level of heterogeneity that emerges from the interaction of several cellular and soluble components in the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as cytokines, tumor cells and tumor-associated immune cells. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 2 (TNFR2) appears to play a significant role in microenvironmental regulation, tumor progression, immune evasion, drug resistance, and metastasis of many types of cancer, including BC. However, the significance of TNFR2 in BC biology is not fully understood. This review provides an overview of TNFR2 biology, detailing its activation and its interactions with important signaling pathways in the TME (e.g., NF-κB, MAPK, and PI3K/Akt pathways). We discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting TNFR2, with the aim of enhancing the antitumor immune response to BC. This review provides insights into role of TNFR2 as a major immune checkpoint for the future treatment of patients with BC.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research is an esteemed peer-reviewed publication that focuses on cancer research, encompassing everything from fundamental discoveries to practical applications. We welcome submissions that showcase groundbreaking advancements in the field of cancer research, especially those that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical implementation. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of cancer, improve prevention and detection strategies, facilitate accurate diagnosis, and enhance treatment options. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that shed light on the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, including metastasis. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore molecular alterations or biomarkers that can help predict the efficacy of different treatments or identify drug resistance. Translational research related to targeted therapies, personalized medicine, tumor immunotherapy, and innovative approaches applicable to clinical investigations are also of great interest to us. We provide a platform for the dissemination of large-scale molecular characterizations of human tumors and encourage researchers to share their insights, discoveries, and methodologies with the wider scientific community. By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentaries, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
